Profound thought for the day… Or as close as I can get.

I think we'd all get along, in this life, much better if we just realize that every word, every slight, every hurt feeling that we receive… Is an expression of the speaker/giver's self-worth.  Look at it from the position that they are expressing their own thoughts and feelings about themselves than about you.

Of course, I say that from the position of someone who does not like to create pain in other people. 

If you're one of those I can only say 'do unto others', 

or Get Psychotherapy.
